CAREFUL CALCULATION
A man was walking down the road
just outside a rustic town in New
England when he came upon a
farmer leaning indolently against a
tree by the roadside. He stopped
and said to the countryman:
“How long will it take me to get
to the next town?” The farmer
looked at him reflectively and went
on chewing a straw'. The walker
hesitated a moment longer and
then plodded on, muttering to him
self, “The old sourpuss, wouldn’t
even talk to me.” Suddenly the
farmer shouted for the man to come •
back. When ho returned the farmer
said, “You will be there in about a
half hour.”
“Why didn't you tell me that when ■
I first asked you?” said the traveler.
“Darnation!” cried the farmer. <
“How in the Sam Hill did I know
then how fast you were going tb
walk?”
ATTITUDE UNCHANGED
“When you broke the engagement
of course you returned the diamond
ring ho gave you.”
“Certainly not! I don’t care for
Tom any more, but my feelings
have not changed toward the ring.”
Recreation
The blacksmith’s sweetheart en
tered the forge just as he paused to
wipe the perspiration from his face.
“Shall we go to the pictures to
night, Jake?”
“Nay, lass,” he replied. “I’m
playing checkers at the club.”
She stamped her foot angrily.
“I’m tired of you and your silly
old checkers!"
“Come, come,” pleaded the black
smith, picking up the heavy ham
mer, “a man must get some exer
cise sometimes.”
Wifey’s Hat
Young Meeker’s wife was very vain,
Which gave young Meeker quite a
pain
But what could poor young Meeker
do
It made him very, very blue.
He stole to buy expensive clothes
For wdfey—so the rumor goes—
And when they caught him, Meeker
said;
“The crime is on my vain wife’s
head.”
Camouflage
“Ma,” whimpered little Tommy,
“do I have to wash my face again
before dinner?”
“Certainly, dear.”
“Aw, geo, why can’t I just pow
der it over again like you do yours?”
Leaky Sky
Boogy—What’s worse than raining
cats and dogs?
Woogy—Hailing bombs and para
chutists.
HE AUTO B. SIIOTT
pm wsr i
“Great Scott! What ails that au
tomobile? See how those wheels
wobble.”
“Looks to me like a clear case of
auto-intoxication!”
Anxious
“I do hope you keep your cows in
a pasture,” said Mrs. Newlywed as
she paid the milkman.
“Yes, madam,” replied the milk
man, “of course we keep them in a
pasture.”
“I’m so glad,” gushed Mrs. New
lywed. “I have been told that pas
teurized milk is much the best.”
The Chauffeur’s Sou
Tom, Tom, was a chauffeur’s son;
He learned to chauf when he was
young.
He scorched o’er hills and far away,
Got nabbed, and a fine he had to
pay.
Much Dis-Cussed!
Mother—What did your father say
when you smashed the new' car?
Son—Shall 1 leave out the swear
words?
Mother—Yes, of course. ,
Ton—tje didn’t say a word.

THE LAST SCENE
An old lady about to die, called
in her favorite niece and asked her
1 to see to it that she was buried in
i her best black silk dress, and as a
reward for her past love and atten
tion, to cut out the back and make
herself a dress.
“Dear Aunt Mary, I couldn’t do
that,” protested the girl, “when you
and Uncle Frank ascend the golden
stairs I don’t want people staring
at the big hole in your dress.”
“Don’t worry about that,” said
the old lady slyly, “they won’t be
looking at me. I buried your Uncle
Frank wifhout his pants.”
Jumping at Conclusions
“John, hadn’t you been drinking
when you came in last night?”
“That’s just like a woman! Just
because I had a little difficulty in
! getting in, because I couldn’t pro
nounce a few words, because I
took off my clothes in the living
j room, and wore my silk hat in bed,
| you rush to the conclusion that I
had been drinking.”
Never Fails
I wish I were a moment
In my professor’s class,
For no matter how idle a moment
may be
It always seems to pass.
HISTORY REVISED
i m
BP 1 \
|
Teacher—Why did Hannibal cross i
the Alps?
Sammy—Guess he wanted to get
on the other side.
A Big Difference, Eh?
Before I married her, she’d say
“I was her treasure” every day
It made me very happy, too,
To hear it from a girl like Sue.
I
But now that we arc married, she
Considers me “her treasury”
I’d rather be, “her treasure” though
It’s less expensive, too, you know.
Not Particular
A man went wearily into a barber
shop and slumped down into a chair.
“Give me a shave,” he said.
The barber told him that he was
too far down in the chair for a
shave,
“All right,” said the customer,
wearily, “give me a haircut.”
Promotion Coming
Boss—Son, do you know the motto
of this firm?
New Office Boy Sure, it’s'
“Push.”
Boss—Whcrc’d you ever get that
idea?
New Office Boy—l saw' it on the
door as I came in.
Colorful Reading
“There seems to be a dearth of
colorful fiction this year.”
“Oh, 1 don’t know. Haven’t you
seen any of the new seed cata
logues?”
In and Out
“Wonder why they always have a
best man.”
“That’s ’cause if the groom backs
out, there’ll be someone to take his
place.”
Fledgling
Brown Here’s my apartment.
Rather stiff climb—four flights up.
Winger, the Aviator—Call these
flights? Guess you must still be in
the ground school.
WELCOME STUFF
Mother—More pudding, Jimmy?
Your eyes are bigger than your
stomach, child.
Jimmy—That doesn’t seem rea
sonable, mother. Let us experiment
and either establish or disprove the
assertion definitely.
Fine Feathers
“I saw' Virginia at church this
morning for the first time in almost
a year. Do you suppose she has
experienced a change of heart?”
“Possibly, but more than likely if
is a change of attire.”
The Limit
“The bravest man I ever knew,”
said the explorer, “was the chap
who took a taxicab to the bank
ruptcy court, and then, instead of
paying his fare, invited the driver
in as a credtcv,”

Progress in Fight on
Tuberculosis Reported
Progress is being made in the
battle against tuberculosis. This
cheering news is brought by Dr. 1
Kendall Emerson of New York,
managing director of the National
Tuberculosis association.
1 “We had a lower death rate in 1940
over ’39, there being a AV2 per cent
drop,” Dr. Emerson said. “And
there has been a notable drop in the
rate of morbidity as well as in the 1
mortality rate. This is very encour-1
aging. There has been general
progress made in almost every part
of the country.
Dr. Emerson showed the itemized
report for 1939 and it placed Puerto
Rico leading all states and territo
ries with a death rate from tubercu
losis of 258 persons per 100,000 popu- j
lation; high on the list is the District
of Columbia, where the death rate
was 87.4; Utah had the best record
by having had the fewest number of
deaths per 100,000 persons—l6.l.
“Oregon is among the 12 states
having the lowest mortality record
in this national tuberculosis count,
the Oregon rate in ’39 having been i
29.8,” explained the doctor.
Dr. Emerson declared that “we
1 have no medicine that either cures;
I or prevents tuberculosis, nature |
| will cure it if nature is given a
j chance. Rest in a properly equipped
I hospital is the essential factor in,
| recovery. In recent years certain
! types of surgical treatment have 1
proved of great benefit.
“The knowledge of the treatment
of tuberculosis is spread all over the j
world as quickly as new facts are
( learned. Portland has been a lead- j
; er in the scientific approach to the '
treatment of the disease.
Auto Found Cheapest and
Most Flexible Way to Go
Cheapest form of family travel
ing is the automobile, the Ameri
can Automobile association has con
cluded after an exhaustive survey
of comparative costs. Actual ex
penditures for motor car travel on
the road, the survey reveals, amount
to between IVa and 2 cents a mile,
depending upon whether a light,
heavy or medium car is driven.
With more than one person in the j
car, the per person cost is reduced :
proportionately.
These costs, the association re
ports, do not include tires and re
pairs, because, as a rule, the costs
of tires and repairs do not enter into
the out-of-pocket expenses of a trip.
However, addition of average tire
and repair expenses of year-round
driving raises the per-mile costs
only to between 2.18 and 2.94 cents.
Divided among three passengers,
which is about the average car load j
on vacation trips, the per-person ]
cost of motoring comes to about 1.7
cents a mile. In addition to its low
cost, the motor car enjoys the ad
vantage of flexibility of route and
schedule noV-available to any other
transport medium. The whim of the
driver sets the schedule of opera
tions and the route of travel, both
subject to change day by day—even
hour by hour.
First Two-Hour Sleep
The average man sleeps more
soundly during the first two hours of
his nightly repose than during the
rest of his slumber period, accord
ing to
forth and such other and further
powers, privileges and immuni
ties as now are or hereafter may
be allowed a similar corporation.

GEORGIA, Bibb County.
The petition of Carey B. An- 1
drew, Jr., George B. Wells, and
Charles H. Andrew, praying to
be incorporated under the name
and style of “Andrew & Com
pany. Inc.” having been pre
sented to me, and it appearing
that said application is legiti
mately within the purview and
intention of the laws of this 1
State, and it further appear
ing that the Secretary of State
has issued a certificate that
“Andrew & Company, Inc.” is
not the name of any other exist
ing corporation now registered
in his office as provided by law;
whereupon, it is considered, or
dered and adjudged that said
application be granted and pe
titioners incorporated under the

rights, powers and privileges as
prayed.
